Hey now, leave Frank alone. He’s the best trucker hat-based comedian in the business today.

So glad to see you watched this one, Vern. I think it’s a little bit of a bummer that you had any spoilers before seeing this. I knoew nothing about it and so it felt very fresh and unusual the first time I saw it. Also, you weren’t offended by seeing RW’s dick because that’s not so shocking. The hairy little fucker loves getting naked.

On another note: I saw a Biography of Seagal on the Biography channel the other day. What the fucking fuck? That mediocre comedian from 30Rock who wears the quirky hats gets to talk about Seagal’s movies through the whole thing, but Seagalogy doesn’t even get a mention?!? Fuck you, Biography channel.

Mr. Majestyk

As for Pump Up The Volume instilling false hope, I think you should read WOMEN by Charles Bukowski. Christian Slater was a funny handsome charismatic guy who related his personal experiences in a funny way and he only got one woman. Bukowski is an acne-scarred bloated mumbling drunk and writing about his exploits seemed to get women to line up in the streets for a piece of him.

I also think Pump Up The Volume made huge strides for gender equality. Normally the hot outcast is a chick who just has to take off her glasses to reveal she is beautiful like the glasses were a big tarp covering her whole head. Pump Up The Volume was the only movie I can think of to try this with a guy. And it was actually almost believable, or at least more believable than Slater as a comic book store loser in True Romance.

I don’t know if Leonard C.’s still in the states or not at this point, but I just saw his new tour.

Holy shit.

Seventy-four years old. Three and a half hours. And he dances.

Go see Leonard Cohen.

It will make you love stuff more.

I guess one good thing you could say about PUMP UP THE VOLUME is that it marked the first appearance of the “U.K. Surf” version of the Pixies’ “Wave of Mutilation.” Sadly, it wasn’t used in a memorable way whatsoever.

If I remember correctly, the film also uses Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows,” a song that is way too heavy to serve as the theme song for a radio show that features simulated acts of masturbation.

Majestyk, that’s the kind of wish-fulfilment that I always enjoy (don’t forget one of my fave films is “Hackers”!) Can’t remember much about the film now but I’ll certainly check it out again.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME instilled the false hope in a generation of tech nerds that making a bunch of silly recordings in their Mom’s basement was a surefire way to make a hot punky brunette come over and show them her tits.

Oh yeah, I saw “pump up the volume” YEARS ago – like when I was a teenager (which is longer than some have thought!) and really enjoyed it. I’ll have to take another look.
